If anyone from here buys it I have 3 sets of bodywork (all slightly different) for that chassis if they are of interest
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I suspect it is going to be in his garage for a bit longer

Confused but excited.

Don't remember Formula Fords having cast iron wheels. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

I had to add it to my watch list just to see if anybody bids £850 for it.
Cheers!

I'll have a Swift DB1 chassis and bodywork up for sale sometime in the next few weeks if anyone is interested! Probably a bit tighter than the
one above, but it's streets ahead in terms of design and competitiveness!
It's just been blasted and is ready for any modifications then coating. It's previously had a bike-engine in the back.
Chassis
Front Suspension Arms
Rockers
Steering Rack
Pedal Set
Gear Linkage for Bike Engine
ARB
Fuel Tank
Bodywork (no engine cover)
Can deliver!
It's Evolution Baby!

Is that the one that uses a fancy bellhousing casting to locate the forward rear suspension arms?

The original chassis may have done, but this one won't as the rear was chopped for a bike-engine conversion!

Yes! Everything just about hung off the bell housing.
Nice chassis - I can vouch for the workmanship in the conversion!

Really bummed that I can't use it for my project Wyn... it's such a nice chassis, but just too tight for me to get along with. It would
be fine though as a hill-climb toy and if no-one is interested in it, then I will keep it for that purpose!
We had talked about widening the upper chassis rails to suit my shoulders, but it would be a shame to compromise it without any guarantee of
success.
What did you do with the old rear-end?

It was tight for me too! But I had 2 enjoyable seasons with it on the hills! I was black and blue after every weekend but you certainly feel part of
the car. And you're right, the chassis is a good one, even though I did this too it!

fancy buying a chassis like this and using it to make a bodywork replica of something like a Lotus 49 or a Tyrrell Matra just for playing about in,
something like this:

Wyn/Isdweb (?!)
Do you still have any of the original rear end of the DB1 or any other parts? (Uprights etc)
I have a DB2 which I run in sports 2000 and the components are broadly interchangeable so I may be interested in making you an offer!
Thanks
